Whether you're moving to a condo in Florida, a harbour-view apartment Monaco or a house in England, moving home is always going to be a daunting task. However, there are some tried and tested ways to make the day easier – it really doesn't have to be super stressful! Whether you are moving across the street or to an entirely new neighbourhood, we have got some house moving tips and tricks that will help you make a seamless transition. 

You need to avoid making last-minute plans when you are moving house. Unless you don't have to pack up your house and move in a rush, you are likely to have a couple of months, depending on your estate agents, to make sure that you have everything in place for the move. Sometimes, however, things can fall through, and if your sale is part of a chain it can prove to be even more of an issue. Thankfully, if this does happen, you can search 'sell my house fast atlanta ga' (or wherever it is you're from) to find house buyers and get things back on track quickly. Contracting with a designated home buying service stops the chain from collapsing and you having to start the process again from scratch. Getting organised early and planning for any likely possibilities is a smart idea.

One of the biggest problems that people find as they start to pack up their home is that they have lots of unwanted stuff. There is just no point in moving items from your old home to your new home if they are just going to be sitting around for months - or until the next move! Save time and energy by getting rid of these items. Charity shops, Gumtree and Facebook selling groups are great ways to find new homes for toys, furniture, clothes, and electronics. 

Make sure you are organised before you start packing your house by ensuring that you get all the packing stuff you need in ahead of time; this includes boxes of different sizes, tape, sticker labels coloured markers and bubble wrap for fragile items. 

Unless you're fortunate to have a very good friend who has a big, empty van, you are probably going to need a professional to help you move home. People sometimes underestimate the number of things they have in their houses, and professionals can't just help you lift heavy furniture, but they can give advice and get things moving more efficiently and effectively. If you want, you can ask your movers to help you with everything from packing to re-assembling. 

Make sure you have an overnight bag with all of your personal essentials packed. Even if you are just moving down the road, you should have a bag with all the things you need to be ready to use the next day (or the next few weeks if you don't manage to unpack all the boxes). Include a fresh change of clothes, basic toiletries, phone chargers and snacks (and even a toilet roll!) in a rucksack or clear plastic box so that you can easily access them when your new home is filled with moving boxes!
